As CPA’s we are trained to count everything – we count time, money, frowns, widgets and woowoo’s and then bill it. But one thing we rarely count are AIC hours; time spent sitting at a desk is jokingly coined Ass In Chair “AIC” hours.

I may lose a few readers here, but the focus of this article is not counting AIC hours for billing purposes….

The focus of this article is…sitting.

Im not a medical Dr. (Sorry mom) but in some medical circles, there is data-driven-chatter that “sitting is the new smoking”. I didn’t pen the phrase, but thank you if you read it here first.

There are a slew of health issues related to sitting at a desk and most remedies focus on the chair or the desk and those are all very important. However, one simple solution rarely seen in the US work place has produced great result. I’m calling it “Stand Up”.

Let me explain Stand Up.

California Health Department Reopening Guidelines For Restaurants, Retail and Manufacturing

May 26, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by mrarrache

While a lot of business owners are taking a wait-and-see approach, The California Department of Public Health and Department of Industrial Relations recently released industry specific guidance to help employers reopeing their businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

These new instructional documents provide businesses with some important information from employee training to customer safety and other tips for a safe workplace. You can view these documents and other employer resources at the California state government’s website https://covid19.ca.gov/

Here are some notable parts from the government guidance if you are planning on curbside service, take-out or dining-in at your local Restaurant or Bar:

Prioritize outdoor seating and curbside pickup to minimize cross flow of customers in enclosed environments. Restaurants can expand their outdoor seating, and alcohol offerings. Guests are encouraged to order ahead of their arrival, even if dinining-in.
Limit the number of patrons at a single table to a household unit or patrons who have asked to be seated together. People in the same party seated at the same table do not have to be six feet apart. All members of the party must be present before seating and hosts must bring the entire party to the table at one time.
Licensed restaurants may sell “to-go” alcoholic beverages, prepared drinks, and pre-mixed cocktails provided they are sold and delivered to customers in conjunction with the sale and delivery of a meal/meals.
Discontinued tableside food preparation and presentation such as food item selection carts and conveyor belts, guacamole preparation, etc.
